  1. The quality is good I must say. I've bought denso o2 sensor from them for £37 odd pound that lexus dealers wanted around £170 for and I've also just ordered 8 denso iridium long life sparkplugs from them for £38 where as lexus dealers wanted over £78 for
  2. I bought a gs430 about 3 weeks ago in mint condition but the steering wheel is slightly off but it still drives straight with no problems. Maybe someone has done the tracking on mine without putting the steering wheel straight
  3. I got a ct hybrid when my gs300 went in for a new bonnet, what a rubbish car the ct hybrid is. It's a toyota with a lexus badge on it, felt every single bump wasn't smooth at all
  4. HI Im going to do a full service on my 2001 Gs430 and was wondering at cheap price rockauto.com are selling denso coil packs and denso sparkplugs, are they going to be any good?
  5. I think it was the whole dvd unit thing in the boot which would have fixed the heater bit and the satnav would have been in english too, but with the one I had it also had a separate dvd player with remote so I could watch dvd movies on it
  6. There was a similar problem with a toyota celsior I had, well the sat nav came on but it was in Japanese and the heater bit didn't work, cost of repair was £1300 as they had to change something in the boot, I didn't get the work done, and sold the car
  7. I've seen that car for sale about 2 months ago at just over £500
  8. Hi Mike B the number plate ends with fhl and it is a nice car. Just one mark on it but apart from that for the year it's mint. The white wheels are growing on me. But I will get the colour changed to its normal silver colour. Eml was on, so I've replaced all o2 sensors using Denso ones but for some reason eml is still on. It's got a good service history by lexus and indy but it doesn't say anywhere sparkplugs have been replaced and it is missing a tiny bit so I'm going to give it a full service hopefully that should switch the eml off but eml isn't bothering me as it drives like a lexus should, no drop in fuel consumption or anything like that.
  9. Hes selling another ls400 but forgot to mention the the sunroof isn't working, there's a slight blow in the exhaust and wheels need refurbing. I remember this car as due to the problems it was going cheap at £795. Actually the previous owner hasn't taken it off the website yet and it's all there to see.
  10. I just got a quote from adrian flux for my gs430 at over £600 where as LV quoted me £425. Adrian Flux are always bad to me.
  11. Hi It's going to be my first time ordering from the rockauto.com website so I have a question if someone can help, when it shows me a list of parts for example control arms, it shows different makes and cheapest to expensive, now do i need to order the most expensive brand as that's good quality or are the cheaper ones just as good? Thanks in advance
  12. That kjm lexus ls400, well guess who's bought that and is now selling it on ebay? Lexuschap
  13. Hi I'm hoping someone can help. So I've bought a Gs430 2001 and im trying to tackle small issues to get it 100%. I've noticed the steering wheel is slightly out but the car drives straight, but when I turn left I can hear a creaking sound. I have ordered anti roll bar bush but I doubt that's the issue. Has anyone else had this problem?. I don't want to take it to have wheel alignment done until i know and replaced the part needed or should I take it to have the alignment done first? Thanks in advance
  14. Thanks for that. I just had it on the ramp and the garage owner looked at with me there and even showed me that the ARB bush on the left side is faulty.
  15. Hi Can anyone tell me the common issues on a 2001 gs430 please. I've had the car about 2 days and after the bad weather every time I turn the steering at slow speed i get a clunking noise, it's doesn't happen when I'm going at normal speed, it also happens when I'm going over a ramp slowly, it also happens at stand still when I turn the steering. Thanks in advance
  16. Thanks guys. I may do an overhaul. I think it will be better to do that
  17. Hi I have a 2001 gs430 and im looking for some decent alloys. If any has any they want rid of, please let me know. Thankd
  18. Lol. I meant to ask should I go for oem front pads and discs? Or can I use something like Brembo?
  19. Hi Well as you know my car was involved in an accident (mk3 gs300), and I was car less, well as a run about until I can afford to maybe but another mk3, I've bought a mk2 gs430, and what a lovely car it is. It doesn't have sat nav but then again I've never used a sat nav in a Lexus as they aint very good anyway, and on the way back from Portsmouth I did notice when braking it judders, I assume it's warped brake discs, and I've gotta get the air con re gassed, but apart from that, it's a lovely car. It light greenish in colour, oh and the person I bought it off put white alloys on it, i may change them, but apart from that I'm quiet happy with it so far.
